The fairly explicit posters for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo are just the tip of the iceberg: Daniel Craig says the film is "as adult as you can possibly make it." Director David Fincher showed him an early cut of the flick, and James Bond freaked:"Fincher, he's not holding back. They've given him free rein. He showed me some scenes recently, and my hand was over my mouth, going, 'Are you fucking serious?' It's not that he simply showed me footage that was horribly graphic. It was stuff that was happening, or had happened. And somehow you don't see it… There's more than one way to sense violence. Much more powerful ways than seeing it step-by-step."

Ben Affleck once lost $400,000 to Universal Studios president Ron Meyer in a backroom poker game. A fellow card player says: "Ben busted big… He drummed up a giant tab, and then all of a sudden he disappeared from the game. He wasn't seen for months… He'd had a string of bad movies and didn't have any big projects on the horizon, and everyone was wondering, 'Is Ben broke?'"
